About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello families! My name is Melissa I am 51 years old. I have 38 years of experience caring for children, including 17 years of full-time employment. I've worked primarily with infants and toddlers, and between 1-8 children per day. I have always loved children and enjoyed spending time with them, especially the youngest ones. I also have experience working with special needs children and I have focused my educational opportunities on expanding my knowledge of best behavioral guidance practices. My style of care is positive, loving, and confident. I always have a wonderful time with the children in my care!

This might sound dramatic, but Melissa literally changed our lives. After 6 months of unreliable childcare in a nanny share (people quitting unexpectedly), we found Melissa. She is a true professional-along with being nurturing, patient, and exceedingly knowledgeable about how to care for young children with all kinds of needs. We started taking our son to Melissa when he was about a year old and he has thrived ever since. She's worked with him and us as he's gone through developmental periods of being extra feisty and strong-willed. She worked with him as he was going through food therapy to help get him eating solid foods. She has taught him skills like cleaning. up, sign language, and sharing. I 100% trust to Melissa to keep my child safe, and so much more. I've watched my son blossom into a walking, talking (so much talking), funny, awesome little kid in the last 7 months. She's a truly wonderful childcare provider, and honestly just a wonderful person.
